DT20 Features & Benefits

Performance

Productive Working Width

Whether you’re working in tight areas or tackling large lawns, Bobcat dethatchers (or overseeders) cover more ground. Command 19 inches of dethatching width with every pass, depending on the model.

Precise Blade Adjustment

A simple height adjustment lets you fine-tune your dethatcher's slicing depth. (Exact depths depend on blade type used).

Slit Seeding Disc Delivery System

The Bobcat D20 overseeder places seed directly into the soil slits for a germination rate of over 90% for lush, rejuvenated lawns. The seed flow rate can be easily controlled from the operator's station and stops automatically when the reel is raised.

Turf Tires

Standard turf tires improve your traction and maneuverability while minimizing damage to turf.

Durability & Uptime Protection

Proven Heavy-Duty Design

Bobcat dethatchers feature a heavy-duty frame and durable construction for years of reliable service.

11 hp Honda GX390 Engine

The 11 hp Honda GX390 engine provides all the power and performance you need to tackle the most challenging projects.

Comfort & Ease of Operation

All Operating Controls at the Handlebar

All controls are conveniently located at the handlebar for convenient operation.

Easy Lift and Lower Transport Mechanism

The transport lever allows you to quickly engage or disengage the dethatcher (or overseeder) for an effortless transition from working mode to transport mode and back.

Self-Driven Drivetrain

With the self-driven drivetrain, you’ll get reliable, smooth performance and easy operation that minimizes fatigue.

Versatility

Choice of Flail Blade for Power Raking and Four Fixed-Blade Reels

In addition to overseeding, the DT20 can be converted to dethatch, power rake or verticut by installing a flail reel or choice of fixed blade.
